Abstract

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (malignant pediatric tumors of striated muscle origin) have been shown to arise from cells that are clonally isodisomic for loci on chromosome 11p. We determined the parental origin of alleles in this genomic region in familial and sporadic cases of this disease and found that isodisomic chromosome 11p alleles in each tumor were of paternal origin. We have developed a modification of Knudson's two-hit model from these data that is capable of explaining the preferential allele retention and of resolving the apparent contradiction between such specific and early events in several embryonal tumors and discrepancies in the inheritance of predisposition in some of these diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
